Thanks for the suggestions; I will look further into them.
Yes I subscribed to your blog, but have been remisce in staying up with reading it, will redouble that effort also.
As for the lidocaine use, since all my symptoms are in the mouth I use it only as a swish type treatment, then spit it out. And to make it a little easier to swish it's diluted about 2 parts lidocaine to 1 part water. I don't think I've ever swallowed it, though it says it can be.
take care
